Item No. 8 - Continued
D. Analysis
The applicant is requesting site plan review so that
three additional buildings can be constructed. The
mini -mall, which will be comprised of 15,337 square
feet of retail sales and office area will be built
immediately. Building construction will consist of
concrete floors and floor slabs on grade, steel
columns, beams and bar joists, brick and concrete
masonry walls, and a 10-year built-up wall with vaulted
skylights over stairway. The other two buildings will
be constructed at a later date.
Staff has only a few concerns. Due to a few troubled
areas related to internal traffic flow, Engineering has
requested that the developer meet with them before the
public hearing. Two of the proposed buildings, which
are closest to the UALR entrance drive, are both
backing into the street. We recommend that the
buildings be shifted so as to provide enough space to
relocate the parking.
E. Staff Recommendation
